| Summary | 0003208: Add an option to disable the splash screen in preferences | ||||
| Description | Despite of the speed improvements, scribus can still take some time to start, even on fast computers. During startup, the splash screen is always shown on top of evrything. It would be nice to disable the splash screen in the prefs and let scribus start in the background. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

|
|
you can already hide it temporarily by just clicking on it. |
|
|
Yes, but it would be nice to get rid of it completely. It is annoying to click just to read your email ;) |
|
|
--no-splash |
|
|
I did know about the --nosplash option, but a checkbox in the preferences, either under "General" or "Misc.", would be nice. |
|
|
As you will notice, one of the messages that shows on the splash is "Reading Preferences". Until some major work would be done to rearrange the order of the startup process, having an option could only hide it once preferences are read. The command line option has a purpose, please put it in your script or in the settings for the icon you start Scribus with. |

cbradney: is it a won't fix, or acknowledged for later implemantation? |
|
|
No idea.. I'm not yet convinced about actually reading the preferences before showing the splash screen. Its almost a wont fix... but not yet. |
|
|
this is probably a very stupid proposal, but wouldn't there be a way to save this --no-splash option into ~.scribus/no_splash instead into the prefs after the user has disabled the splash screen in the File/Preferences, and make scribus use this file on launch? |
|
|
Sure, could be done... might try that tonight |
|
|
Add in --never-splash/-nns cmd line option which writes ~/.scribus/.neversplash. On startup if this file exists, the splash will not be shown. |
|
|
tested, works as described by cbradney, closing. btw, it would be even more user friendly to add a checkbox into the preferences and let it do "touch ~/.scribus/.neversplash" respectively "rm ~/.scribus/.neversplash", but I guess there are those windows guys which don't have touch and rm :) Christoph, leaving it to you, if you want to reopen it, otherwise we can write some nice FAQ on the wiki, right? |
|
|
Maybe I'll do that too, however I never used "touch".. just open for writing and close :). |
|
|
Ok.. try now.. gui prefs, still uses the file, not stored "in prefs". |
|
|
tested again, the checkbox works very fine, it's very user friendly now :) thx craig |
